I am very happy!

Hi everyone,

I am very happy for many reasons :) Firstly because of the wonderful surprise I got yesterday! I was 'sneak attacked' on etsy (which is actually a good thing) my shop was chosen and promoted on the sneak attack blog by the wonderful sneak attack etsy team (as my shop is fairly undiscovered by most)- and guess what- because of this promotion I made my first sale!!! I also found out about the whole scheme and joined the team do I can find out about other cool small shops and help get them noticed like they helped me :) here is the blog: http://handmademovement.blogspot.co.uk they were promoting lots of good shops so check it out for some good etsy gift ideas!

Secondly I got my papers yesterday to confirm that I definitely passed my first year of uni. Both my friends got into uni too! So good news all round and a huge congrats to my friends :-)

Thirdly I have made more progress on the red dress 1/2 scale I have had as a long term project at home. Here is how the gathering of the skirt is going, it was kind up a made up process of pinching and twisting the larger petticoat to gather it up to be the same size as the lining :) It is just like I wanted though and I think it is quite effective:

Fourthly (if fourthly is even a thing you can say? :p) I am enjoying spending lots of time with my lovely family! We walked over the 02 the other day. That was a cool experience. Here are some of the shots of the view. Walking up was actually quite hard it was quite steep (the walkway):

And I am off with my family to Lyme Regis tomorrow so that should be fun to explore together! :)

Hi Im Jordan! My mum taught me the basics of knitting quite a while ago now and I continued to learn more and more by myself then I went on to crochet. I have experimented with many other crafts since and have developed a love for sewing and costume (Which is what I study at University :-). I really love different cultural and alternative fashions. As well as fashion I have a huge interest in bridal wear and attend pretty much every major wedding fayre going! :P I think about sewing, pattern cutting, fashion, clothes making and crafting pretty much all the time- I dream in seams!
Im a vegetarian and have been since I was born, Ice cream and cake/brownies are probably my favourite deserts and I love going to see theatre shows/perfomances (mainly becuase of all the costumes and the ice cream at half time :P)and of course I love blogging too!
But that is enough about me for now.... Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy visiting and joining me in my little world :)
